Global norm subgroups #
Let K be a number field. An open normal subgroup V of the absolute Galois group G_K cuts out
the finite Galois extension classField K V of K. This file attaches to V its norm subgroup in
the idele class group C_K: the norm subgroup of the layer V ◁ G_K of the idele-class formation
globalFormation K, read on C_K through the identification globalGroundEquiv of C_K with the
ground level. It is the idele-class norm group N_{E/K}(C_E) of the class field E
(globalNormSubgroup_eq_range_classField, globalNormSubgroup_eq_range), and of any finite Galois
extension L/K whose layer is V (globalNormSubgroup_fixingOpenNormalSubgroup).
The idele-class norm group is open and of finite index
(TauCeti.GlobalNumberFields.isOpen_range_ideleClassNormMap,
TauCeti.GlobalNumberFields.finiteIndex_range_ideleClassNormMap), so global norm subgroups are open
subgroups of finite index of C_K, the objects on which the global class-field correspondence is
stated. Transitivity of the formation norm makes the construction monotone in V, so it reverses
inclusion of class fields, and the layer G_K itself, which cuts out K, has norm subgroup C_K.

The idele-class norm subgroup cut out by an open normal subgroup V of G_K: the norm
subgroup of the layer V ◁ G_K of the idele-class formation, read on C_K through
globalGroundEquiv. It is the idele-class norm group of the class field of V
(globalNormSubgroup_eq_range).
Instances For
An idele class lies in the global norm subgroup of V exactly when, read in the ground level
of the layer V ◁ G_K, it lies in the norm subgroup of that layer.
The global norm subgroup of V is N_{E/K}(C_E) for any finite Galois subextension E
of Kˢ/K that is the fixed field of V.
The global norm subgroup of the layer of L is N_{L/K}(C_L) for a finite Galois
extension L/K.
The global norm subgroup of V is N_{E/K}(C_E) for the class field E of V.
The global norm subgroup of V is normal in the commutative group C_K, so the norm quotient
C_K / N_{E/K}(C_E) is a group.
An idele class lies in the global norm subgroup of V exactly when it is the norm of an idele
class of the class field of V.
Subgroups of C_K are the subgroups of the ground level of the idele-class formation. The
level of the whole group G_K is C_K, written additively (globalGroundEquiv), so taking
preimages along that identification is an order isomorphism. It carries the global norm subgroups
to the norm subgroups of the idele-class formation (globalGroundOrderIso_globalNormSubgroup),
which transports the laws of the norm subgroups of a class formation to C_K.
Instances For
An element of the ground level lies in the image of a subgroup H ≤ C_K under
globalGroundOrderIso exactly when the corresponding idele class lies in H.
The ground-level order isomorphism preserves the index of every idele-class subgroup.
globalGroundOrderIso carries the global norm subgroup of V to the norm subgroup of the
layer V ◁ G_K of the idele-class formation.
Global norm subgroups are open.
Global norm subgroups have finite index.
Order properties #
Shrinking the layer subgroup V enlarges its class field, and a norm from a larger field is a norm
from every intermediate field, so globalNormSubgroup K is monotone in V. The top layer G_K
cuts out K itself, whose norm subgroup is all of C_K.
Global norm subgroups are monotone in the layer subgroup. If V ≤ W, then the class field
of W is contained in that of V, and every norm from the larger field is a norm from the smaller
field.
The top layer has the whole idele class group as its norm subgroup. It cuts out the ground field itself, whose norm to itself is the identity. This pins the direction of the global class-field correspondence.
